    Hunting.......

    what is this thing, of which you speak? Two (only 2) unsuccessful days of deer hunting. Our usual 2 to 3 weeks of elk hunting (living in our camper) appears to be severly in jeopardy! There have been better times! Sorry, just needed to rant! Good Luck to all......and to...

    Today at the Dentist’s Office....

    I returned to the lobby after finishing my appointment, and witnessed my wife involved in a hunting rifle conversation with the young lady receptionist. It seems the young lady is wanting to step up a bit from her .270 Win. to something larger for her hunting rifle. My wife was extolling the...

    Ear Protection When Hunting

    I didn’t wear ear protection when I was in my early shooting career, late 60’s/early ‘70’s, nor in a noisy industrial. Hearing protection wasn’t stress than as now! During the early years of shooting, noisy industry, and racing motorcycles damaged my hearing......you can’t regain it, and like...

    For the Hunting Handloader

    A question for those that use their handloads for hunting......like maybe someone doesn’t! 🤪 It’s probably overkill or paranoia or perhaps both! I grew-up in an region of the country where 85% humidity is quite low and they average 60 to 70 inches rain per year. I always worried about the...

    Sorta Gear Related

    If a shooting range “can” be classified as gear! 🤔 We’ve had a 300 yard range with a backstop at our home for about 20 years. But, it was impractical for semi-auto handgun work, as the brass was near unrecoverable......so, we did very little practice with our defense handguns! That was changed...

    Preparing for a Western Hunt

    I thought this may be a good place to post this. Many questions are asked pertaining to.....what equipment, sleeping bags/clothing ect., are suggested for a western hunt. Many cannot appreciate the temperature extremes we can enjoy. This is only late October, and our home is only at 4200 feet...

    For The Handgun Hunter

    As many of us venture into the mountains chasing Mule Deer or Elk, one of the bounties bestowed upon us is the opportunity to put a grouse in the pot. It doesn’t get much better than enjoying a meal of freshly caught Brookies or a nice grouse or two. With a rifle, head shots on a grouse...

    For the Big Bore Guys

    I got a Marlin Guide Gun (45-70) about 6 years ago, and a bullet mold for casting bullets. Far too much work around the place, and other issues prevented me from doing anything with my new, now old gun! Two years ago, finally got some bullets cast. That was were the process stopped, until the...
